Alto Live 1604

Very nice piece of kit. Sturdy and sounds great. I use it in my studio to finally get out of the box and eq and mix in analogue using the 8 outs from my trusty old Multiface 1.
The compressor doesn't do very much and the effects aren't great. But I'm sure they'd be ok in a live context. As would the whole unit. It's certainly strong enough.
So, yes, I'm delighted with it. Just those little tweaks across a board bring a recording to life. I was never have able to do it with a mouse. I'll probably get a Behringer FX2000 unit to complement it. Btw, the headphone amp is powerful and clear, much better than the Milleneum phones amp that I've been using all these years.

I received my Alto Professional Live 1604 mixer from Thomann only 4 days ago but I have used it extensively since it arrived. I am a one person singer/entertainer using backing tracks all through my mixer and I totally rely on reliability and in achieving top quality audio. The Live 1604 has not let me down, this multi functioning mixer is extremely well made with quality parts throughout and all claims about the mixer are well founded. I have used the mixer to record directly to my computer with great success. Yes, there is a low level high-pitched sound audible before the backing track kicks in but this is not a major issue for me because it was easily removed from the finished track when editing. Well done to Thomann too. My mixer was well protected during transit, packaging was great and the package arrived on time as expected. I would have no hesitation in recommending Thomann and the Alto Professional Live 1604 mixer to anyone considering purchasing one.
